Recently I was working on a cemetery transcription and came across Czech
inscriptions. I starting looking for my Research Helps for this
country and realized that if I was looking for it, probably other people
would be, too. I collected the materials over years of work at FHC's,
libraries and on the internet.

If there is 1 book for translating foreign languages that I could never part with, it
would be Jonathan Shea & William Hoffman's "Following The Paper Trail"
-- as you know by now, I hawk very, very few items... this one I have hawked
for the past 15+ years and will continue to do so -- not only does it have Czech, it also has
German, Swedish, French, Italian, Latin, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish,
Polish, Russian, Hungarian, and Lithuanian. It is available through
Borders Books, etc. or online. GREAT GIFT IDEA, TOO! -- I'm on my
FOURTH COPY as this book sprouts legs... actually, it gets borrowed and
is never to be seen again... I'm sure the first three copies are in good
homes, being used often...

And where's BOHEMIA???
Here's a little info that will explain Bohemia vs. Czechoslovakia... They
are not quite the same.Bohemia, a historical region
and former kingdom of present-day western Czech Republic. The Czechs, a
Slavic people, settled in the area between the 1st and 5th centuries A.D. A later principality was independent
until the 15th century, when it passed to Hungary and then to the Hapsburg
dynasty of Austria. Bohemia became the core of the newly formed state of
Czechoslovakia in 1918. A Bohemian would be considered a
Czechoslovakian, but not every Czechoslovakian is a Bohemian...
